The arcades of XX Settembre street in Genoa

I portici di via XX Settembre a Genova

The porticos of XX Settembre street in Genoa.
Via XX Settembre is one of the main arteries of Genoa, famous for its elegant porticos that extend along much of the street. These porticos not only offer shelter from the elements, but also represent an extraordinary example of urban architecture, combining neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau elements.
The construction of Via XX Settembre dates back to the end of the 19th century, in a period of great urban expansion for Genoa. The porticos, with their mosaic floors and decorated ceilings, were designed to add a touch of elegance to the city. The columns and arches in black and white stone create a fascinating visual effect, making a walk under the porticos a unique experience.
Walking under the porticos of Via XX Settembre, you can admire a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants that offer a mix of tradition and modernity. This street is a reference point for shopping and social life of the Genoese, but also a place where you can breathe in the history of the city. Every architectural detail tells a part of the history of Genoa, from its medieval times to the present day.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the porticoes of Via XX Settembre is the motto of Genoa engraved under one of the neo-Gothic porticoes: “As the Griffin seizes these, so Genoa tears to pieces its enemies”. This motto, accompanied by a griffin seizing an eagle and a fox, dates back to the ancient Republic of Genoa and represents the strength and determination of the city.
The porticoes of Via XX Settembre are an unmissable place for those visiting Genoa. Whether it is a relaxing stroll, a shopping session or a coffee break, the porticoes offer a fascinating and historically rich environment. Every corner of this street tells a story, making each visit a unique and memorable experience.

Gerolamo Boccardo (Genoa, March 16, 1829 – Rome, March 20, 1904) was an Italian economist and politician. He was a senator of the Kingdom of Italy in the XIII legislature. After completing his high school studies, in 1844 he enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Genoa, but the political commitments he soon took on made him delay his graduation, which he obtained only on July 2, 1849. In 1847 he was elected president of the Società Entellica di Chiavari, recently moved to Genoa. During this period he worked as a journalist at the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, working to promote the transformation of the newspaper from an exclusively commercial newspaper to a political and economic newspaper.

A glimpse of Salita Salvatore Viale in Genoa

Uno scorcio di Salita Salvatore Vitale a Genova

A glimpse of Salita Salvatore Viale in Genoa.
To tell the truth, in this shot you can't actually see the climb that I included in the title but I didn't know how to name the post.
In reality, you can see a nice glimpse of some buildings, taken from via Venti Settembre (at the height of the Ponte Monumentale), which to be reached you have to go along the Salalita dedicated to Salvatore Vitale.

Update: I had mistakenly written Vitale without finding any correspondence. As many people have pointed out to me there was a spelling mistake: the correct name is Salvatore Viale of which I have found several information!

Where is the spot where I took the photo:

Salvatore Viale (Bastia, 6 September 1787 – Bastia, 23 November 1861) was a Corsican writer, poet and magistrate, the first author to use the Corsican language in a work of literary importance, the Dionomachia (1817). Educated in liberal ideas, he played a significant role in the recovery of the cultural tradition of the Corsican people and defended the role of the Italian language as the cultured language of the island.
A climb in Genoa near the central Via XX Settembre (previously named after Antoine Christophe Saliceti) was dedicated to Viale.

The two-tone arcades of Twenty September street

La bicromia dei portici di via Venti Settembre a Genova

The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa.
The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa are one of the most distinctive and fascinating architectural elements of the city. Via Venti Settembre is one of the main arteries of the center of Genoa and its arcades are known for their elegant two-tone decorations, a typical decorative style that uses two contrasting colors to create suggestive visual effects.

Typically, the two-tone effect is achieved using white marble and black slate, a local stone very common in Ligurian architecture. This contrast of colors creates a very strong and distinctive visual effect.
The decorative motifs in the porticos often include geometric designs, such as stripes, diamonds, and zigzag patterns. These designs are designed to enhance the contrast between the two colors.
Many of the buildings along Via Venti Settembre date back to the Italian Liberty (Art Nouveau) period, and the two-tone effect is used to emphasize the sinuous lines and floral details typical of this style.
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the two-tone effect also has a practical function, as dark stones, such as slate, are more resistant to wear and stains, so they are often used in areas subject to pedestrian traffic.
The two-tone effect is not only an aesthetic choice, but also has a cultural and historical significance. It reflects the skill of the Genoese craftsmen and the historical richness of the city. It is an example of how architecture can incorporate artistic elements that tell a story and create a unique identity for a place.

Along Via Venti Settembre, some of the most iconic buildings with two-tone porticos include:
Palazzo della Borsa: an example of Art Nouveau architecture with elaborate decorations.
Chiesa della Consolazione: although not directly part of the porticos, it is a nearby landmark with a façade that incorporates two-tone elements.
Palazzi dei Rolli: some of the historic buildings along the street display this type of decoration, although the Rolli themselves are better known for other architectural features.

Via XX Settembre è una strada che ha avuto un’origine controversa. Fu fortemente voluta dal sindaco Andrea Podestà, ma osteggiata da parte della popolazione residente poiché per costruirla fu necessario procedere a pesanti demolizioni di case e negozi. Soprattutto furono contrari i religiosi della chiesa del Rimedio, espropriati per far passare l’arteria.
